The Parzen book was on my list (Amazon ), I find these books, including Rhea's book practically useless as they do not provide the necessary non -linear noise analysis, and do not have real live examples with test data.

Depends for what. If you are looking for books on crystal oscillators and how to build them, I would recommend Parzen's book "Design of Crystal and Other Harmonic Oscillators". It's probably the most complete treaty I have seen (though i have not completely read it). Rhea's last book "Discrete Oscillator Design" is definetly also worth a look and easier written than Parzen's book, but much less complete. Another book worth considering, though a bit expensiv IMHO, is Cerda's "Understanding Quartz Crystals and Oscillators". Another current book is Everard's "Fundamentals of RF Circuit Design: with Low Noise Oscillators". If you are interested in harmonic oscillators in general, then a look at Ulrich's and Poddar's book "The Design of Modern Microwave Oscillators for Wireless Applications" is definitely worth a look. Quite a bit of it is also applicable to quartz oscillators and it contains together with "A New and Efficient Method of Designing Low Noise Microwave Oscillators" (http://synergymwave.com/Articles/a-new-efficient-method-of-designing-low-no ise-microwave-oscillators.pdf) the most on how to get oscillator noise down. If you have a IEEE account, you can get the older of these books (and a few othersothers) from the UFFC website: http://www.ieee-uffc.org/publications/books/index.asp Attila Kinali -- Malek's Law: Any simple idea will be worded in the most complicated way. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
